# Judo at the 2022 Commonwealth Games

Judo competitions at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, were held from 1 to 3 August 2022. This was the fifth time the sport has been on the program, since it was introduced as a demonstration sport in 1986, and made official at the next edition in 1990. Its second appearance within England specifically, spread across fourteen weight categories. As the World Judo Championships each country can enter up to 2 participants per weight. The sport awarded two bronze medals, one for the winner from repechage and another for the athlete who won the third place combat.
It will be the only time that Judo will become a core sport at the Commonwealth Games, previously classified as an optional sport in three previous editions.
